The Nassau County Health Department has begun administering H1N1 shots.

The nasal spray has been available for a couple of weeks, but starting Wednesday night, shots are being given.

Shots will be offered at the health department in the 1600 block of Nectarine Street in Fernandina Beach.

The shots will be administered from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and you can call 904-548-1860 to make an appointment.

Another clinic is offering the shots Friday from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. at the County Building in the 86000 block of Pages Dairy Road.

You do not need to make an appointment for that clinic.

On Saturday, there will be a clinic open from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the County Building in Callahan in the 45000 block of Mickler Road.

Call 904-879-2306 to make an appointment.

Those eligible for the vaccines include health care providers and emergency medical personnel, healthy children ages 2 to 4 without any chronic medical conditions, caregivers of children under 6 months old and anyone between ages 2 and 49 who live with an infant less than 6 months old.

Officials said there should be enough vaccines for anyone who wants it within a few months.

For more information about the flu and vaccine availability, the state has set up a flu information Web site and a hot line at 877-352-3581. The line is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.
